Here's my range report on my brand new Tanfoglio 9mm/22LR pistol I picked up last week.

I started out with the 22LR slide installed and I was literally like a kid in a candy shop after the first trigger pull. What fun!!!! I can unload it faster than I can load it while staying inside the 6" target at 30' (need that Baby UPLULA....).

Here a couple of pics (there's 50 rounds between these two photos - 20 + 30). These are at 10 yards/30 feet and the target is about 6" diameter:

Then I switched over to the 9mm slide and tested the gun and some 124 grain reloads I made on a friend's new Dillon 650.

Absolutely love the gun, great trigger

Thanks.The 22 ammo was just cheap $1.65/50 lead stuff. I'm switching to jacketed because I don't want the lead on my hands.I picked up some Federal 40 grain (I think) jacketed stuff last night at Made in China Mart. I think it was $19 for 550. I'm okay with that to not have the lead.

Reliability was 100% shooting 50 rds of 22 and 40 rds of 124grain 9mm that I reloaded on a friend's new Dillon 650. I shoot a fair amount of .45 so I'm thinking about going down the reloading path in the near future.

Price: We have a LGS/buying group here in South Florida that does a monthly group buy on ammo, a few select accessories, and two or three guns every month. This one was offered at $381 and all ten sold in a few hours. They also had two models (9mm and .40) of Poly Tanfoglio for $284. These are cash prices (3% for cc) and don't include the Florida sales tax of 6%. It's kinda cool, they throw a BBQ when the stuff is available to be picked up so you get a burger to go with guns and ammo

A friend that bought one has decided not to keep his if anyone is interested. He's decided to shoot IDPA .45 exclusively (or something along those lines anyway). He said 9mm doesn't knock down the steel targets

FloridaCracker:FYIBefore you go out and spend the $30.00+ on a BabyUpLULA, please note....The BabyUpLULA is for single stack magazines ONLY and WILL NOT load your Witness .22lr (conversion) mags (since they are “double stack” mags)I'm not trying to drum-up business, but as of right now, my UpLula-Mod is the only double stack .22lr (conversion) magazine loader availableHere are a couple links to check out;My ad;http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=24219.0And my UpLula-Mod Pic-Tutorial;http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=24310.0As I said, I'm not trying to drum-up business, just trying to save you time, money, and the aggravation of getting a loader that isn’t what you wantLet me know if I can answer any questions you may haveShoot safe, Den S

I ordered one of these 22LR/9mm combos off of Gunbroker. I got it for $445 delivered. It seems like the lower prices have gone away. Most are in the high $400 or low $500 range now. I bought it because I wanted a CZ75 22LR Kadet, but just couldn't justify paying over $600 for a 22LR pistol. With this combo I get a very similar 22LR and an extra 9mm upper half that I'm going to (hopefully) have converted to 9x23.

Bret:The Witness .22lr Conversion is a nice little unitBUT, (and, don’t get me wrong, I'm not trying to start a fight here) it doesn't hold a candle to the KadetA CZ Kadet (on a well toned frame) has the potential to be one of the most accurate .22lr pistols you’ll ever shoot (with the same barrel length) at any priceThe Witness is a very fun .22lr pistol and yes, the Witness itself gives you almost unlimited flexibility when it comes to caliber conversionsThat 9mm/.22lr (like the .45acp/.22lr) Combo, is a VERY NICE set-up for the $$$One suggestion though…Get and keep a Hoppe’s .22lr BoreSnake handyRun it through the unit a couple times every couple hundred roundsIt will keep the crud from building up in the chamber and help reduce FTF, FTC and FTE problemsJust my $0.02Shoot safe all, Den S

BUT, (and, don’t get me wrong, I'm not trying to start a fight here) it doesn't hold a candle to the KadetA CZ Kadet (on a well toned frame) has the potential to be one of the most accurate .22lr pistols you’ll ever shoot (with the same barrel length) at any price

I must agree with FloridaCracker in that the Kadet is a better conversion than the Witness. It will shoot a much wider range of 22 ammo and will be more accurate. Is it worth the extra cost? That is a different issue. R S
